METEOR SHOWER

A beautiful image, the photographer's patience has been rewarded, luck helps those who know how to benefit from it , ciao Giangiorgio

Bravo. Seems a technical accomplishment.

Thank you, Giangiorgio, for your interest and comment. I spent a couple of nights catching meteors in the sky while taking photos of the Milky Way.

Hi, Wayne. Thank you for your interest. Yes, there is some additional device was involved. I used a star tracker to get a cleaner sky look.

Well done! The meteor is perfectly positioned. It makes me want to go out and give this a try. Warmest regards, Todd

Thank you, Todd!

Hi Evgeny,

 

this photo is phenomenal and technically beyond what I know abot night photography. The richness of stars and the meteor going to the center of the galaxy is simply amazing and you have captured it wonderfully. I don't understand exactly what a 'star tracker' does, but it paid off. What I like most about this image is the composition; as always, even in these very uncommon circumstances, you have captured the scene with a clear sense of composition. Bravo! Kind regards, Vincent

Hi, Vincent. Thank you for your opinion and interest. Star tracker is a device mounted on a tripod and specially positioned against Polaris. Its head spinning at the same speed as Earth speed making stars still. As a result, you have no limits for exposure time. It is totally different league of photography. I look forward to mastering this part.
